Jennifer Garner has no limit when it comes to bags of nuts! On November 25, the 51-year-old actress playfully teased her Instagram followers by revealing the contents of her bag, pulling out everything for them to see.
The items were initially typical, including a notebook, glasses case, and a "little pouch of pens because pens are essential."
However, the actress from Family Switch soon discovered she tended to hoard nuts - and candy - like a squirrel preparing for winter.
“A little tiny bag of nuts,” she said while pulling a plastic bag out of her carry-all. “I’m gonna keep these … just kidding.”
Jennifer Garner, as seen in a post on her Instagram account, was surprised to discover that she had not one, but multiple plastic bags of nuts and various prepackaged varieties of the food item in her bag. As she pulled each one out, she exclaimed, "Nuts. Nuts. Nuts. Nuts."
The star of the movie 13 Going on 30 burst into laughter and tears as she continued to discover more bags of nuts. "I'm so scared I won't have any nuts," she joked through her tears, admitting that she had counted a total of eight bags.
Another surprising discovery for Garner was finding both full and empty bags of candy tucked away in her backpack. "Gotta have your candy handy," she joked upon finding two bags of the same brand.
While Garner also carried two books and an iPad, it was her food choices that caught the attention of her fans and friends.

“You are adorable ️,” Courteney Cox replied in the comments, while Mindy Kaling agreed, “Pens are LIFE.”
Reese Witherspoon echoed the thoughts of many of Garner's followers by cheekily asking, "Are you a squirrel? So many nuts!!" Another fan even went as far as calling Garner "the Mary Poppins of nuts."
Earlier this year, Garner provided fans with an insider's look at her daily eating habits in a chat with Harper's Bazaar.
In April, she disclosed, "My usual breakfast consists of coffee and more coffee. Typically, I tend to fixate on a particular breakfast for a few years. Currently, I'm into full-fat yogurt with berries and nuts."

Garner joked that while she does “not have the gift of making anything cute” she does “like to cook and bake for people [she] loves.”
Garner prioritizes keeping her three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck, Violet (17), Seraphina (14), and Samuel (11), out of the public eye. However, she is open about sharing her cooking adventures on social media, often sharing both her successes and failures with her followers. This has included creations such as Easter bunny bread and cinnamon bread men.
